“Insofar as poetry has a social function it is to awaken sleepers by other means than shock”
Poetry is the expression of our humanity. When we are reminded of our humanity, we wake up—come alive, open to beauty, compassion, kindness, benevolence toward ourselves, our fellow citizens of earth, and all living creatures. Poetry lives inside each of us. Can you hold onto your humanity—the poem of you, even under pressure or struggle?
